Stop saying 500 years like its a reasonable argument. THE COLONIAL PERIOD WAS 500 YEARS AGO COLONIZER TRASH. Its a terrible argument in defense of european ownership of African land.
The Spanish exclave cities have been both casus belli and staging grounds for colonial wars on Morocco. Melilla was just a garrison until the Hispano-Moroccan war of 1860 after which they rapidly built a city.
The whole point of owning territory there is to control Mediterranean shipping, not to have a laugh on the beach.
Ok but you get what Gibraltar is for? It's so they could shoot boats right? Same idea there, just a bit earlier. Gibraltar has a city too, I can put a city anywhere. Jamestown was a city.
Gibraltar also being a tax haven is just completely irrelevant, it wasn't established so they could have a stupid tax haven, it was established to shoot boats and extract wealth from the Mediterranean, you keep saying it's a tax haven,
the Spanish government has granted them 50% tax exemption, both for commercial companies and personal assets. In other words, if you manage a company in the Spanish enclaves, you’ll only pay half of the usual corporate tax and income tax.
50% tax credit on CIT levied on income obtained in Ceuta and Melilla through companies established and carrying on activities in these enclaves during a full business cycle because of their specific geographic location.
Being a tax haven while pissing off the spanish is so much better than having a colony within pits of barbed wire and eletric fences in african soil conquered during the colonial period.
What incursion? It has been there for 500 years and neither Morocco or Spain existed back then.
It should be part of Morocco. Duh.
When your fortress enclave gets questioned and you’re like “but it’s been there for so long!” Fucking lol.
Lmao, why.
Yeah sure, let's give them two cities that have been spanish for 500 years to the country currently occupying the Sahara and murdering everyone there.

Oh, now i see, so the whole argument was indeed "map look nice".
Ah, yes, minimizing the damages of european colonialization to "making the map ugly" is very fitting for a dumbass like you.
Ahora ya sé como se sentía Sancho Panza cuando lo de los molinos. Dios mío, que turra.
Tu sufrimiento es mi placer, colonizador.
Lmao, terrible spanish. Obvious tank is obvious. Literally no one talks like that. Shit, extremely obvious google translation.

Sure, as i said, it's a city, not a resort. Comparing it with all those turist cities for white people in third world countries is disingenous.

Gibraltar is a tax haven, Melilla isn't.
:cringe:
who CARES
?¿?¿?¿?¿?
You just compared them, what's your point?

:cringe: they're even tax havens lmao
Huh, TIL. That should go.
But why are you now talking about the Canarie Islands? Wasn't this about Ceuta and Melilla?
